hehe, Azzedine Alaia is fantastico!! He is the King Of Cling He was most popular in the 80's though.

I'd direct you to his website... if he had one!!! It's very hard to find any stuff on him on the web, only books im afraid, but his illustrations are gorgeous.. here are some from Google, but they dont work properly Azzedine Alaia - scroll to the middle

Oh, and this is the only proper image I could find

You can get influence from them, but just try develop your own style That's what I'm currently trying to do myself (i'd put some up but everytime I try to add an attachment i get d/c and all uploading sites also d/c me )

Also, try experimenting with different types of media such as gouache, water-soluble crayons, charcoal, chalk, pen, markers, oh and the beloved photoshop

jean paul gaultier is great at illustrating!!!!!

but then again he's had a lot of time to practice

once you learn to render fabrics properly with pencils and pantone's it will get easier and easier

One from John Galliano for Dior's last couture collection....

No.. actually Spike.. thats not Galliano's sketch!! It's actually by David Downtown who was sitting in the audience for that show.
